First Bungy Trampoline in an alpine resort in Australia will be a big hit with kids

Sunday, 25 May, 2006 0

Two Sydney-based members of ‘Legs on the Wall’, one of the most dazzling and inspiring theatre companies in the world, will be the first to ‘perform’ on Falls Creek’s  Bungy Trampoline.

The two artists, Ingrid Kleinig and Mark Le Cornu, will show the resort’s opening weekend guests what can be achieved on the innovative Bungy Trampoline (designed and constructed in Germany) at Queen’s Birthday.

One of Europe’s biggest extreme sports companies has coordinated the design of the Bungy Trampoline using only the best materials, including German engineered components, professional mountaineering ropes, pulleys, purpose-built elastics and carabiners.

Using multiple bungy cords the traditional trampoline is superboosted to give a gravity defying ride giving all the adrenaline of bungy jumping but none of the risks. Imagine jumping up to seven metres into the air off a trampoline, looking down on the crowd from over two storeys up.

Jumpers are able to reach heights that would be impossible using a trampoline alone, secured and safe in their adjustable purpose built harness they are free to experiment with acrobatic movements or to simply jump as high as they can.

Enthusiastic children are initially apprehensive but after some supervised time they rapidly gain confidence and after their first somersault in an adjustable, purpose-built harness, they’ll push the envelope and eventually bounce high enough to execute a double somersault.

By placing this exciting new addition to the smorgasbord of family-friendly activities in the Village Bowl it will easily accessible throughout the day and the evening. Trained ski lift staff will supervise all sessions.
